the time came...for a new recipe. i find myself wanting to cook better things for myself. in such a case, my old cookbooks from small towns and old high schools don't always do the trick of providing appropriate recipes (especially if that means using vegetarian-ish and easy-on-the-white-sugar).what to do? seek new horizons or resources! thank goodness one of my professors was willing to

the time has come...to detach with love from the things, people, and places that i cannot control or change. i used to think loving was feeling what other people felt, being in their shoes, etc. now, thanks to some wise friends, i am realizing love is about me, too. i can love me as much as i love my family and friends. and the difference this reveals is in the actions i show towards others

yep. a wise friend recommended i begin utilizing a "God box". no, the idea is not to put God into a box. (how silly would that be? who does that?) instead, the idea is to take a box that is meaningful to you (from a cigar box, shoe box, wooden box or even a cereal box, but preferably nothing like a coffin or refrigerator box) and transform it into a somewhat-message-center. here's a
